This "study" picks its years to produce the desired result. Shift to 1976-2004 & the result is different. http://o.dailycaller.com/all/2014-04-15-report-immigration-is-making-the-us-blue#1 …
@alexnowrasteh Good reason to take study up to present time. As for start time, what does it look like 1976-2012? Or pick another date...

@ByronYork Sure, but CIS study picked starting date when GOP did very well & ended w/ 1 when it did poorly. Designed to get that conclusion -
@AlexNowrasteh I'm asking what results would be from 1976-2012, the starting date you mentioned. Different? How? -
@ByronYork If you start your analysis in a year when GOP did worse, then decline partly evaporates. -
@AlexNowrasteh Is study author on Twitter?@MarkSKrikorian? -
@ByronYork@MarkSKrikorian How did study account for 3rd party effects in 92 & 96?
